Changing Modes (TX SETTING): Hold down MODE and END keys while turning on the transmitter to call TX SETTING menu. Stick Mode: The screen reads "STK-MODE". Change this to the correct mode. Note that this will NOT change the throttle and elevator rachets, etc. Those are mechanical changes that must be done by a service center. Throttle Reverse: THR-REV is a special function that reverses the entire throttle control, including moving the trim functionality to the Stick’s upper half.
RADIO INSTALLATION Follow these guidelines to properly mount the servos, receiver and battery. • Make certain the alignment tab on the battery, switch and servo connectors is oriented correctly and “keys” into the corresponding notch in the receiver or connectors before plugging them in. When unplugging connectors, never pull on the wires. Always pull on the plastic connector instead. • Receiver Antenna (72MHz band): It is normal for the receiver antenna to be longer than the fuselage.
• When you install the switch harness to the helicopter, please use the switch cover. Generally sandwich the frame by switch and switch cover and securely tighten the screws. Different models might require different installations. In that case, please follow the model instruction manual. 7R SUHYHQW WKH VHUYR OHDG ZLUHV IURP EHLQJ EURNHQ E\ YLEUDWLRQ GXULQJ ÀLJKW provide a margin so that the wire sticks out slightly and fasten it at suitable points.
• The receiver contains precision electronic parts.

If appropriate, waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and closing the open end with a rubber band before wrapping it in foam. If moisture enters the receiver, intermittent operation or a failure may result.
WARNING After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really under the control by the transmitter to be linked. Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected or with engine operating as it may result in serious injury. 7UDQVPLWWHU V $QWHQQD 70 PRGXOH RQO\ 1.

MODEL TYPE: sets the type of programming used for this model. The T10C has 15 model memories, which can each support: •one powered aircraft (ACRO PHPRU\ W\SH ZLWK PXOWLSOH ZLQJ DQG WDLO FRQ¿JXUDWLRQV 6HH WZLQ DLOHURQ VHUYRV WZLQ elevator servos, ELEVON, and V-TAIL for further information.); WKUHH JOLGHU ZLQJ W\SHV DJDLQ ZLWK PXOWLSOH WDLO FRQ¿JXUDWLRQV 6HH *OLGHU MODEL TYPE for details, p. 78; •eight helicopter swashplate types, including CCPM. See Helicopter MODEL TYPE for details, p.
Modulation select (MODUL): sets the type of modulation transmitted. The modulation of your receiver will determine whether you utilize FM (PPM PCM or 2.4G-10CH 7CH setting in MODUL during transmission. Note that you have to turn your transmitter off and back on before a modulation change becomes effective. If you choose PCM or 2.4G-10CH 7CH, be sure you understand and set the FailSafe (F/S ) settings as you intended (see p. 50). When utilize PPM or PCM setting, use the TP-FM module. When you utilize 2.
Second aileron (AILE-2) (ACRO GLID 1A+1F GLID 2A+1F only): changes the default choice for dual aileron servos from channels 6 (FLAPERON) to channels 5 and 6, or 7(AIL-DIF ) to channels 5 and 7. This allows you to utilize these 2 great functions while utilizing a 5-channel receiver. NOTE: Changing AILE-2 only tells the system which servos to utilize if FLAPERON or AIL-DIF is activated. You still must activate that function and complete its setup.
Home screen display mode selection (HOME-DISP) (HELI only): selects the display item in the home screen for HELI. ILLUST mode ILLUST: displays the illustration of helicopter in the home screen. (default) THR/PIT: displays the current throttle and pitch position in the home screen.

Logic switch selection (LOGIC SW): The various functions in the T10C can be selected by switch. The Logic switch can be assigned to the following functions: THR-CUT, IDLE DOWN, AUX-CH, TIMER, PROG. MIX, AIRBRAKE, ELEV-FLAP, and AILE-FLAP functions. The logic switch can activate functions by two switches combination. The 2 types of logic, either AND or OR, can be selected. Logic combination table: Adjustability: • Three logic switches can be used.
End Point of servo travel adjustment (END POINT, also called EPA): the most flexible version of travel adjustment available. It independently adjusts each end of each individual servo’s travel, rather than one setting for the servo that affects both directions. Again, for CCPM helicopters, be sure to see SWASH AFR (see p. 95) prior to adjusting end points. Adjustability: • Can set each direction independently. • Ranges from 0% (no servo movement at all) to 140%.
Engine idle management: IDLE-DOWN and THR-CUT: functions which work with the digital THROTTLE TRIM to provide a simple, consistent means of engine operation. No more fussing with getting trim in just the right spot for landings or take offs! For additional engine adjustments, see THROTTLE-NEEDLE (p. 65) and THROTTLE DELAY (p. 66). IDLE-DOWN (ACRO only): lowers the engine idle for: sitting on the runway prior to take off, stalls and spins, and landings.
Throttle cut (THR-CUT) (ACRO HELI SURYLGHV DQ HDV\ ZD\ WR VWRS WKH HQJLQH E\ ÀLSSLQJ D VZLWFK ZLWK THROTTLE STICK at idle). The movement is largest at idle and disappears at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. In HELI, there is an additional setting, THR-HOLD. See p. 99. The switch's location and direction must be chosen.
'XDO WULSOH UDWHV DQG H[SRQHQWLDO D/R,EXP): assigns adjusted rates and exponential. Dual/Triple Rates: UHGXFH LQFUHDVH WKH VHUYR WUDYHO E\ IOLSSLQJ D VZLWFK RU (ACRO GLID) they can be engaged by any stick position. Dual rates affect the control listed, such as aileron, not just a single (ex: channel 1) servo.

Auxiliary channel function (including channel 9-10 controls)(AUX-CH GH¿QHV WKH UHODWLRQVKLS EHWZHHQ WKH WUDQVPLWWHU controls and the receiver output for channels 5-10. Also, the CH9-10 POSI are used to change the CH9-10 servo direction. Note that the CH9-10 functions are only visible in the AUX-CH screen when PCM or 2.4H-10CH modulation is selected. The 9-10th channels are not supported in FM modulation. The 8-10th channels are not supported in 2.4G-7CH modulation.
TRAINER: for training novice pilots with optional trainer cord connecting 2 transmitters. The instructor has several levels of controllability. Adjustability: • NORM: When the TRAINER SWITCH is ON, the channel set to this mode can be controlled by the student. The set channel is controlled according to any programming set at the student's transmitter.
TRIM submenu: resets and adjust effectiveness of digital trims. The 10C has digital trims which are different from conventional mechanical trim sliders. Each TRIM LEVER is actually a two-direction switch. Each time the TRIM LEVER is pressed, the trim is changed a selected amount. When you hold the TRIM LEVER, the trim speed increases. The current trim position is graphically displayed on the start up screen. The TRIM submenu includes two functions that are used to manage the trim options.
SUB-TRIM: makes small changes or corrections to the neutral position of each servo. Range is -120 to +120, with 0 setting, the default, being no SUB-TRIM. We recommend that you center the digital trims before making SUB-TRIM changes, and that you try to keep all of the SUB-TRIM values as small as possible. Otherwise, when the SUB-TRIMs are large values, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.
FailSafe (loss of clean signal and low receiver battery) submenu (PCM 2.4G mode only) (F/S): sets responses in case of loss of signal or low Rx battery. FailSafe (F/S LQVWUXFWV D 3&0 * UHFHLYHU ZKDW WR GR LQ WKH HYHQW UDGLR LQWHUIHUHQFH LV UHFHLYHG Adjustability: • Each channel may be set independently. (2.4G-7CH mode: ch3 only) • The NOR (normal) setting holds the servo in its last commanded position. • The F/S (FailSafe) function moves each servo to a predetermined position.
ACRO ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS: Aircraft wing types (ACRO GLID): There are 3 basic wing types in aircraft models: • Simple. Model uses one aileron servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness into a single receiver channel) and has a tail. This is the default setup and requires no specialized wing programming. • Twin Aileron Servos. Model uses 2 aileron servos and has a tail. see Twin Aileron Servos. • Tail-less model (flying wing). Model uses 2 wing servos working together to create both roll and pitch control.

Using Twin Aileron Servos with a 5-channel receiver, AILE-2 (ACRO GLID ): AILE-2 allows FLAPERON and AIL-DIFF with a 5-channel receiver. AILE-2 only tells the radio that you are using CH5 and CH6 (FLAPERON), or CH5 and CH7 (AILDIFF), not CH6 or CH7, as the second servo in FLAPERON or AILE-DIFF. You still must activate and set up the FLAPERON AILE-DIFF function. Note that selecting CH6&5 or CH7&5 does NOT free up CH6 or CH7 to be used for other functions when using a receiver with more than 5 channels.
There are 4 basic tail types in aircraft models: • Simple. Model uses one elevator servo and one rudder servo (or multiple servos on a Y-harness). This is the default. • Dual Elevator servos. Model uses 2 elevator servos. see AILEVATOR (ACRO) see p. 57. • Tail-less model. Model uses 2 wing servos together to create roll and pitch control. see ELEVON(ACRO GLID 1A+1F). see p. 56. • V-TAIL. Model uses 2 surfaces, at an angle, together to create yaw and pitch control. see V-TAIL (ACRO GLID). see p. 58.
Dual Elevator Servos (with a rudder) (AILEVATOR) (ACRO): Many models use two elevator servos, plugged in separate receiver channels. (Flying wings without a separate aileron control use ELEVON. V-shaped tail models use V-TAIL, p. 58. %HQH¿WV • Ability to adjust each servo's center and end points for perfectly matched travel. • Ease of assembly, not requiring torque rods for a single servo to drive 2 surfaces.
Using V-TAIL (ACRO GLID): V-TAIL mixing is used with v-tail aircraft so that both elevator and rudder functions are combined for the two tail surfaces. Both elevator and rudder travel can be adjusted independently on each surface. NOTE: If V-TAIL is active, you cannot activate ELEVON or AILEVATOR functions. If one of these functions is active, an error message will be displayed and you must deactivate the last function prior to activating ELEVON. see the wing example on page 51.

MIXES: the backbone of nearly every function Mixes are special programs within the radio that command one or more channels to act together with input from only one source, such as a stick, slider or knob. There are a variety of types of mixes. Types: • Linear: Most mixes are linear. A 100% linear mix tells the slave servo to do exactly what the master servo is doing, using 100% of the slave channel’s range to do so.

HELI-SPECIFIC ADVANCE MENU FUNCTIONS THR-HOLD: This function holds the engine in the idling position and disengages it from the THROTTLE STICK when SWITCH E (10CH) or G (10CA) is moved. It is commonly used to practice auto-rotation. Prior to setting up THR-HOLD, hook up the throttle linkage so that the carburetor is opened fully at high throttle, then use the digital trim to adjust the engine idle position.
THR-CURVE and PIT-CURVE: These 7-point curves are utilized to best match the blade collective pitch to the engine RPM for consistent load on the engine. Curves are separately adjustable for normal, idle-up 1, idle-up 2, and idle-up 3. In addition, a separate collective pitch curve is available for throttle hold.
Revo. mixing rates are 5-point curves. For a clockwise-turning rotor, the rudder is mixed in the clockwise direction when collective pitch is increased; for counterclockwise-turning, the opposite. Change the operating direction setting by changing the signs of the numbers in the curve from plus (+) to minus (-) and vice versa. Suggested defaults: Clockwise rotation: -20, -10, 0, +10, +20% from low throttle to high. Counterclockwise rotation: +20, +10, 0, -10, -20% from low throttle to high.
OFFSET: Optional separate trims in addition to those for the normal condition.

DELAY: The Delay function provides a smooth transition between the trim positions whenever OFFSET, REVO. MIXING, or THROTTLE HOLD functions are turned on and off. Adjustability: • Separate delay times are available for aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, and pitch. • With a 50% delay setting, the servo takes about a half-second to move to its new position...quite a long time.
